I haven't found anything yet - but if you do please post it!
I've been calking and sealing leaks in the firebox since construction. Got them mostly sealed up, but the Ash Drawer is probably the biggest leak.
I have never used mine as a grill I've used it solely as a smoker, but I would imagine that the ash would be dificult to get out once you have a good layer of seasoning on there.
For the fire box I would recommend you get some rope gasket for the join between the 2 halves in addition to the sealant. I just used sealant but some of the gaps would work better with some rope gasket in there.
For the cook door I used the Rutland RTV Silicone gasket to seal it. Check to see...
One trick I've found is that when you add more charcoal, add it already lit. Start a chimney when your temps start to fall and when the chimney is good and lit, then add it to the firebox. This will help you manage a more even bed of coals.
Bama is correct. You'll need to learn the smoker like...
Craigroller,
Here is a great "roll-up" thread for horizontal side firebox smoker mods. It helped me a ton when getting started.

Others beat me to it, but I was going to say that it looks like smoke/grease/creosote buildup. I get it on the top of my Weber Genesis as well. It should just peel right off.
Thanks SmokinHusker, oldschool and NewMC
NewMC, these were smoked only using the 2-2-1-GONE method.
Rubbed and then smkoed for 2 hours with cherry wood, then 2 hours in foil with honey, Parkay and brown sugar and finally 1 last hour on the low heat. Brush lightly with sauce for the last 10 min...
16 hours later.... it was so worth it!
Chicken and Ribs together forever...
Finished Ribs
Pulled Pork
Brisket
And last but not least... Chicken
Thanks for stopping by to view the feast.
